The Bundesgartenschau 2015 offers a lot of attractions on about 55 hectare in the Havel Region. More than 30 flower halls, 50 themed gardens, 1,000 cultural events and 1,000,000 flowering plants can be enjoyed from 18 April until 11 October 2015. The Havel Region is about 80 km away from Berlin and 55 km from Potsdam.

Its slogan “Cathedral-hopping – the Blue Band of the Havel” refers to the two cathedrals marking the start and the end points of the Garden Show: the Cathedral City of Brandenburg an der Havel and the Hanseatic and Cathedral City of Havelberg. The slogan also refers to the river Havel and to the more than thousand year old history of culture in a still quite unspoilt landscape.

Since 1951, the German Federal Garden Shows are taking place every two years in another German city. For the first time in the history of these special events, such a garden show covers a whole region and five locations. It stretches along the Havel river and offers impressions of historic cities and towns in a unique landscape.
